The study reconstructs thermodynamics using unified physical axioms, suggesting new insights into energy and entropy dynamics.

This work aims to reconstruct thermodynamics as a unified theory based on three physical axioms rather than independent postulates.
Developed three foundational axioms: microscopic ontic definiteness, physical reality of spacetime-vacuum, and causal source–response coupling.
Converted auxiliary thermodynamic postulates into theorems derived from the axioms.
Derived several thermodynamic concepts and structures applicable across various materials and phenomena.
Established that heat is a mode of energy transfer and entropy measures microscopic multiplicities.
Derivation of classical thermodynamics as a limit of the new theory, maintaining correctness in its domain.
Developed new predictions for diverse systems with explicit rejection criteria.

Kianming(Jianming) Wang (2026) studied this question.
